Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this feature if you need precise control over how elements display across desktop and mobile without using custom CSS.

This is especially useful for:

  • Fine-tuning layouts

  • Creating consistent spacing

  • Building responsive column designs

What the Height & Width Controls Do

All Page Builder elements support custom sizing through built-in height and width controls.

These controls allow you to:

  • Set fixed or flexible dimensions

  • Adjust sizing per device

  • Maintain consistent layouts without code

The controls are applied at the element container level.

Where to Find the Controls

The Height and Width settings are located in the Page Builder element settings.

Navigation path:

  1. Select any element in the Page Builder

  2. Open the Right Sidebar

  3. Click the Styles tab

  4. Scroll to Container Size

Supported Units and Values

You can set height and width using the following units:

  • px – Fixed pixel size

  • % – Relative to parent container

  • em – Relative to element font size

  • rem – Relative to root font size

  • vh – Viewport height

  • vw – Viewport width

  • auto – Automatically adjusts to content

Each value is selectable directly from the input field.

Responsive Device Support

Height and Width controls support device-specific styling.

You can:

  • Set one size for desktop

  • Override with different values for mobile

  • Maintain layout consistency across screen sizes

Changes apply only to the selected device breakpoint.

Layout and Column Behavior

These controls work seamlessly with horizontal layouts and column spacing options.

They fully support:

  • space-around

  • space-between

  • Other flexible alignment and spacing settings

This ensures columns resize correctly without breaking alignment.

Benefits of Using Height & Width Controls

Using built-in sizing controls provides:

  • Precise layout control without custom CSS

  • Cleaner, more predictable responsive designs

  • Improved alignment and spacing consistency

  • Faster design adjustments directly in the builder

Common Issues and Fixes

Element appears too small or too large

  • Check the selected unit (px vs % vs vh/vw)

Mobile layout looks broken

  • Switch to the mobile breakpoint

  • Set a mobile-specific height or width value

Columns not spacing correctly

  • Confirm the element width is compatible with the column layout

  • Avoid fixed pixel widths when using flexible spacing options
